Lexus GSF Touch Up Paint (25 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Lexus clearly decided that if you're buying a high-revving V8 sedan, you shouldn't have to hide in a sea of silver. They recorded a massive 25 colors for the GS F, and they really went for it. While you have the sophisticated Liquid Platinum and Nebula Gray, the real stars are the bold choices like Molten Pearl (Orange Pearl), Flare Yellow, and the deep Blue Pearl Tricoat. Whether you're driving a "look at me" yellow or a "stealth mode" Graphite Black, the depth of these finishes is legendary.

What to Watch For

Before you start, pop open the driver's side door. You're looking for a black sticker on the jamb; your paint code is right there next to the letters "C/TR" (it'll be a three-digit code like 1J7 or 083). Now, the reality check: Lexus paint is famously "soft." While this gives the car that signature mirror-like glow, it also means the hood and front bumper are magnets for tiny rock chips. You might also notice the clear coat feels a bit sensitive to bird droppings or tree sap-catch those early so they don't leave a permanent "shadow" in the finish.

Driveway Repair Tip

Since so many GS F colors are Tricoats (that's code for "three layers of sparkle"), they require a little extra patience to get right. First, shake your touch-up bottle for a full two minutes-those heavy metallic flakes love to settle at the bottom, and you need them awake to match the rest of the car. Instead of using the big brush attached to the cap, which often applies too much paint, try using the tip of a toothpick or a paperclip to "drop" the paint into the chip. Think of it like filling a tiny bowl rather than painting a wall; two thin layers are always better than one big, obvious blob.
